Short Message Service (SMS)

ASSURE can be configured to work with the GOV.UK Notify service.

You can specify ASSURE-wide connection settings for that provider, and these can be customised (by being overridden) at the worksheet or task level.

For example, you can configure all Licence worksheets to use a different API key to the rest of ASSURE Public Protection. And you can configure a particular Licence worksheet — for example a Hackney Carriage Licence — to use a different SMS sender ID to other licences.

Note

Although SMS can be configured for all types of Public Protection worksheets, this feature is currently used only by the Update Document schedule and only for Licence worksheets. Customer feedback will determine whether and where SMS is used more widely in future, including support for other SMS providers.
